What the Rangers have done in their 10-3-0 getaway has been impressive in many respects. The historic amount of goals they are scoring is nice, now five straight games with five or more goals being the first time the franchise has done that since the 1978-79 season. The fact they are defending the front of the net again is nice, as well.

But really, the biggest shock is how general manager Jeff Gorton was able to subtly maneuver this summer and so drastically change the personality of the team. With his semi-overhaul of personnel, the Blueshirts look fundamentally different than they did last season, or from those teams of recent vintage.

Most notably, when they are rested, they play blindingly fast.

If that is able to sustain throughout the grind of an 82-game schedule, condensed this season due to different circumstances, is something that remains to be seen. The mire through which they skated on the second leg of a back-to-back Sunday against the Jets is a clear indication of what type of toll that can take on a team’s speed and energy, and if that drops off, what kind of team are the Rangers left with?

Well, at first glance, the 5-2 win over Winnipeg certainly was a good sign of their will to grind it out when needed, just as it was when the Rangers didn’t have their A game and managed a 5-2 victory in Boston over the Bruins on Saturday night.

“It’s pretty impressive,” forward Brandon Pirri said after the game Sunday night, with the team getting Monday off before returning to action Tuesday night at home against the Canucks.

“Everyone is contributing and that’s what’s important,” Pirri added. “It’s a tough matchup for other teams when the next line coming over the boards is just as capable as the one before that.”

That has not been the case in the past — but, really, there haven’t been too many teams in the league that had skill from top to bottom. Pirri, for one, represents a big uptick in offensive skill, especially because the role he has fit into is on a fourth line that is hardly from the mold.

A one-to-one comparison of players who left and players who replaced them might be unfair, but it’s unavoidable to see that the spots formerly held by Dominic Moore and Tanner Glass last season are now being filled by Pirri and Pavel Buchnevich. That contrast in talent is staggering.

Last season ended with Eric Staal lumbering up and down the ice, and Viktor Stalberg playing a straightforward — if at times inconsistent — style of game. Considering they were replaced by rookie Harvard product Jimmy Vesey and former Islanders’ speedster Michael Grabner, and again, the improvement in speed and skill is obvious. The trade that sent Derick Brassard to the Senators in return for Mika Zibanejad was the biggest offseason shake-up, but the result was just as Gorton intended — getting the Rangers younger, faster and cheaper.

The influx of new faces has revitalized the Rangers, and has also seemingly lit a fire under some of the players that have been here for a while. Kevin Hayes has never played with such vigor at both ends of the ice, and his four goals and six points over the past four games earned him the third star of the week. J.T. Miller has made enormous strides and is leading the team with 13 overall points. Chris Kreider has been a power-forward force and Rick Nash is scoring again (six goals).

Yet from coach Alain Vigneault down to each player, everyone around the team is quick to point out that the speed is a result of improved backchecking from the forwards and the defensemen making better decisions with the puck, and making them quicker. The backend has been reawakened with a rejuvenated Ryan McDonagh, an aggressive Marc Staal, and a more steady Dan Girardi. Their ability to defend, regain control of the puck and move to the forwards to break out has been the biggest improvement — and is the reason the Rangers look so darn fast.

Certainly, that can all change. No one is handing the Rangers any hardware one month into the season. Eventually, the goals will stop coming in bunches, and the defense will make mistakes, and even goalie Henrik Lundqvist might have more off nights.

But if this team fails, Gorton made sure it will not be in the same vein. It will be with a team that is younger, faster, deeper, and not afraid to fly up and down the ice attacking at both ends of the rink. It’s a new look, and it happened — well, fast.
